feature-thumb-tagging-v-ray6-revit-690x380

Asset tags

Leave V-Ray to render your project images while you are away. Batch rendering helps you schedule multiple views for rendering with a click of a button.

Lighting

House_night_01_Revit_Next

Accurate lighting

Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting.V-Ray automatically converts all Revit lights to V-Ray ones and further extends Revit's lighting capabilities.

natural lighting scenarios

Light Gen

Study your model in different lighting scenarios without the need for lengthy manual setup. Automatically trigger hundreds of natural lighting scenarios, choose the ones you like best and render.

V-Ray_5_for_Revit_feature_-_Light_Mix_690x380_2

Light mixing

Experiment and adjust your model’s lighting after you have rendered. Tweak the brightness and color of individual or groups of light sources to find the best rendition for your space.

Adaptive_Dome2_1380x760_Revit

Adaptive lights

This lighting algorithm dramatically speeds up rendering in scenes containing many lights. And you can render image-based lighting much faster with the new Adaptive Dome Light.

Lighting analysis

Lighting analysis

Easily visualize real-world illumination values (lux) with the new Lighting Analysis render element.

Sun & Sky

Sun & Sky

Take advantage of our improved sky model to present your design in its best light when the sun is at the horizon.

release-thumb-v-ray6-revit-beta-690x380

Procedural clouds

Add clouds to your V-Ray sky and animate them when exporting solar studies.

More Features

Camera

Real-world cameras

Work like a photographer, with controls for exposure, white balance, depth of field and more.

Lens effects

Add that extra touch of photorealism with real-world camera lens effects such as bloom and glare.

Virtual Reality

Experience your designs at 1:1 scale. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.

Automatic exposure & white balance

Capture the perfect exposure every time. The new Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance camera controls make rendering as simple as point and shoot.

Materials and textures

Physical materials

Physical materials

Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.

Decals_Support_Revit_next_credits

Decals

Add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. V-Ray for Revit has full support for Revit Decals.

V-Ray_5_for_Revit_feature_-_sketch_ideas_690x380

Contours

Give your model a sketch-like look. Use the global contour settings to create every outline automatically or the Contour material attribute to highlight a certain region.

V-Ray Decal

Add decals using V-Ray’s flexible system — place them onto any surface, across multiple objects, and even stack them one over the other.

Native materials support

Render an enhanced version of your Revit material automatically. Alternatively, convert it to .vrmat and customize it to represent the actual complex material you’ll put in your design.

Coat & Sheen materials

Use these two new layers to add distinct effects to V-Ray materials. The Coat layer creates polished surfaces while the Sheen layer is perfect for realistic fabrics such as silk or velvet.

Randomizer

Use the UVW Randomization asset to create realistic materials by randomizing patterns and colors. The Stochastic Tiling functionality removes texture tiling seams.
